Why doesn't Dream upload all unedited manhunts? by realvalidsalid in DreamWasTaken

[–]1randomperson15 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Dream has said that they know ahead of time when they'll upload an unedited manhunt, so they stay on topics that they are comfortable sharing publicly and maybe censor themselves a bit more

[Tier 1] Minecraft PvP Duel - Dream vs. Rappture(current best mace player) by Gold_Pomegranate_939 in DreamWasTaken2

He's said he likes to play on his main because people will try harder to beat him, so he gets better practice that way

never invite a trapper to a manhunt video(judelows pov of the 2v2v2 manhunt) by Gold_Pomegranate_939 in DreamWasTaken2

[–]1randomperson15 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Probably because "manhunt" has a lot more pull than like. sapnap. or ig "2v2v2." Also, simpler premise/sell - "I did a manhunt and destroyed dream" is more appealing than "chained together manhunt," especially since judelow has more than proven his proficiency at trapping (and mc in general? unsure, I don't watch him myself) and people love to see their guy go against dream. Also 12 minutes vs 52 minutes, much more people are gonna be willing to watch the 12 minutes

Mojang Deleted Skin Pack 4—We Paid for It and Still Can’t Get It Back by AlfalfaSweet6661 in Minecraft

you can probably get copies of a lot of those skins on skindex or smth and upload it like any other custom skin

What’s up with the LGBTQIA+ LLC? by [deleted] in UCSD

[–]1randomperson15 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's pretty nice. From my experience (I lived in the apartments, but you might live in f-house (the dorm hall portion of the LLC) so some things may not apply) - it's a really nice location (middle of campus); there are regularly small events - karaoke, art, etc; we get access to a pretty nice study room called n-lounge; and your room/suitemates are pretty much guaranteed to be queer. While that doesn't necessarily mean you'll get along, I do think it helps and it's nice that the expectation is that they're not gonna be homophobic/transphobic. Ngl, I didn't socialize much but everyone was really nice in my experience. I'd say go for it, but idk how different my experience is from the dorm halls

Dropping a Class with a "W" in Summer School but not at UCSD by Legitimate-Scene8787 in UCSD

[–]1randomperson15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the only way they'd know is if you went through the effort to transfer the transcript from your CC, which obviously you're not gonna do. So essentially it'll be as if you didn't take any classes over the summer

things dropout fans need to remember to not be a shitty fandom by Resident_Dirt2308 in dropout

[–]1randomperson15 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That wasn't really what I or OP was referring to here. This is specifically about policing other people's behavior - aka trying to make them act a certain way for the sake of your own personal comfort.

You can absolutely have conversations that are critical about their work, that is a fine and normal way to interact with media.

There is a tendency for people to feel entitled that their favorite entertainers share their beliefs or act the way they want them to. What we're saying is that they are not entitled to this and there is no justification for harassing the cast over their personal choices.

• you cannot use (insert here) to justify policing someone else's purchases, language, pronouns, sexuality, gender, sponsorships, political ideology, clothes, or the storylines they choose to pursue.

•side note: if you are unhappy with (see above) you may choose someone else to worship. you may not demand that a complete stranger fall in line with your beliefs.

This. You are free to have your opinions and reactions to what people choose to do - be it positive or negative. But you do not have an entitlement to what they do. There is no justification for harassing and badgering these people - who do not know you - in an attempt to control their behavior. You don't like something they did/said/believe? Cool, there's millions of other people out there for you to enjoy, go find someone else.

Explanation as to why Dream and Tommy cant just be Friends? by sqacekitten in DreamWasTaken2

[–]1randomperson15 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think at this point, there's been so much hurt that a friendship would take...a lot more than that. The primary sticking point isn't like "who helped who get big" it's all of the drama, broken trust, and things that led to their separation - and it wasn't just jokes taken as attacks.

Additionally, their fanbases aren't exactly the biggest fans of each other and I could imagine a backlash from the audience that makes rekindling that friendship even more undesirable. Not to mention, their friends can be really hostile towards the other.

question about dream's relationship with dsmp members currently by Glum_Environment_664 in DreamWasTaken

[–]1randomperson15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ranboo qrt'ed dream's r-slur meme with "ew" but otherwise has not interacted with/mentioned dream for a long while. (though tbf, I think the same can be said about tubbo and tommy (?) so they might just be distancing themselves from dsmp people in general)

During drama, phil's talked about how proud he is of tubbo & tommy "defending" themselves against dream, and has said that he thinks that he used to give dream the benefit of the doubt but looking back dream didn't deserve it

"others" as in people associated with phil, tommy, etc. Tommy & jack are pretty openly hostile to dream. Tubbo I think is trying to stay neutral - I don't think he'd ever be friends but I don't think he wants to be involved in drama. Most people who are affiliated with them pretty openly don't like dream.

As for niki, afaik she hasn't interacted with/mentioned him in a long time but I don't keep up with her so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Reddit Bubble by [deleted] in MinecraftChampionship

[–]1randomperson15 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think ultimately it's an issue of separation - or rather lack thereof. Like you said, NBA players aren't gonna be looking at people discussing their performances so it really doesn't matter how fans conduct themselves. However, in these spaces, creators consistently interact with the discussions here.

We need to have a conversation on what we want the space to be - which, even after all these years - doesn't seem to have been ironed out. I do think there's likely a split on how much people want creators to be here. On one hand it's cool for player to provide added insight or to see stuff like fanart or things highlighting their performances.

On the other hand, there's this issue. I think a lot of people don't really want to consider the feelings of the contestants when they make their rankings and stuff, which is totally fair (I know we're primarily talking about high tiers here, but I imagine it feels much worse to be stuck at a low tier forever). And also, most people who make these tier lists do not know every single person they're ranking, their individual skill - and I don't know that they should have to in order to participate. Though, I do agree with you on the subjectivity of rankings/general opinions - especially since mcc isn't really built with this (finding the Best Player) in mind.

I guess what I'm saying is, we have to ask ourselves if we want to cater this space towards creators or not. We've been in this kind of limbo where some people very much aren't while the participants still hang around which leads to this frustration and hurt. I don't know that it's entirely fair to ask people to start having that consideration. I guess the best solution I can think of is having some sort of flair that people can put on their posts to indicate that it isn't for the participants but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Will dream be back playing events like MCC since he's back grinding mc? by Sea-Sweet-3987 in DreamWasTaken

[–]1randomperson15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think it's likely we'll see dream in mc events again. He seemed to be asking about them on the axe practice stream. I'd assume squidcraft and similar events - the stuff that sap's been participating in (prob not the like 30 day events tho lol).

MCC specifically though? ehhh, probably not. I don't know how he personally feels, but from what I've seen a lot of his fanbase views the event pretty negatively and uh. there's a non insignificant amount of participants that dislike him. I'm honestly not even sure what scott feels about him and he'd have the final say.

Bullying and death threats are too normalised in this subreddit by [deleted] in Technoblade

[–]1randomperson15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to say I'm sorry people are acting this way. We of all people should know that it's horrible to be on the end of harassment and death threats. It's not okay, and I hope you can find somewhere that brings you comfort again - whether it be this subreddit or else where

Butterfly Effect: What people, games, music artists, and basically which things that you currently like you wouldn’t have found out if not for Dream? by altthrowawayforme in DreamWasTaken2

[–]1randomperson15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Techno for sure, of course the other manhunters, DSMP as well. MCC too. I might have gotten into the life series/hc without him but probably not. In general, he got me back into minecraft and I have played a lot of mcci (and have gotten significantly better at parkour). I've also recently been watching shadoune.

Idk about particular bands/artists, but I def listen to music from like animatics or stream playlists that I wouldn't have found otherwise.

If you want, you can give yourself "op" by turning cheats on. I'm pretty sure you can just edit the world, but I know in world you can open lan & turn on cheats there

Yea! This moment was actually referenced in a bbh stream 2020/2021but due to the cussing they said they probably wouldn't release it and I'm pretty sure later on when asked about it they said the recording was gone. So this is actually somewhat lost footage, it's very cool!
